Hugging Face employee reflects on 4-year journey amid acquisition news
RisingSayak · x · 2026-09-09
Hugging Face team member RisingSayak shared his 4-year journey: PyImageSearch CV work, heavy Transformers use at Australian e-commerce startup Carted, a ConvNeXt TensorFlow contribution invited by NielsRogge, helping land the first non-Transformer vision model in the library, then joining HF in October 2022. He praises HF's culture of freedom — and admits the reported acquisition by "another favorite company" leaves him chuckling but feeling "heavy on the shoulders."
